Trump's Historic $70 Billion Immigration Enforcement Bill Just Passed: Mass Deportations, Border Steel, and Fraud Crackdowns Are Here — And Democrats Are Melting Down in Total Panic Mode
Here's what's in it and everything you need to know about it: (THREAD 🧵)
Remember the gut-wrenching feeling of watching our beautiful country get dismantled piece by piece over the last few years? Remember the late-night news footage of unvetted masses pouring across our borders, while everyday, hard-working American citizens were told to sit down, shut up, and foot the bill? For years, the open-border lobby treated your tax dollars like a bottomless ATM and your hometowns like a global waiting room. Our communities were overwhelmed, our infrastructure was pushed to the absolute brink, and the rule of law was treated like a joke. You felt it. I felt it. Every single American who loves this nation knew we were living through a coordinated, deliberate betrayal of the working class.
But early Friday morning, at 5:00 AM, the tides completely turned.
The era of total border chaos is officially OVER.
In a historic, late-night showdown that went straight into the dawn hours, the United States Senate handed President Donald J. Trump the single greatest legislative triumph for sovereignty in modern American history. By a razor-thin, hard-fought 52-47 vote, the America First movement just pushed through a massive, uncompromising $70 billion immigration enforcement package.
This isn't just another weak, compromised Washington spending bill. This is a $70 billion enforcement hammer designed to fund the most aggressive border security restoration this world has ever seen. We are talking about massive funding for ICE, thousands of new border agents, an ironclad mandate for border wall steel, and high-tech crackdowns on fraud that will completely cut off the flow of taxpayer resources to illegal entities. Take a deep breath, America. After years of feeling like we were underwater, the forgotten men and women of this country are finally being heard. This is what winning looks like. This is America First in raw, unapologetic action.
The open-border lobby thought they could stall, delay, and sabotage this package forever. They failed. The legislative machinery of the reconciliation process was used to completely bypass the filibuster, forcing this monster of a bill through without a single Democrat vote. Let's look at what this $70 billion warrior package actually delivers to secure our homeland over the next three years. This is the breakdown the corporate media refuses to show you...

Let's look at what this $70 billion warrior package actually delivers to secure our homeland over the next three years. This is the breakdown the corporate media refuses to show you...
1. The ICE Deportation Surge: $38.2 Billion
The single largest chunk of this package—a staggering $38.2 billion—is going directly to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This funding is nearly four times the agency's baseline budget from recent years. When combined with previously clawed-back DHS funds, ICE is now armed with unprecedented financial firepower to scale up interior enforcement operations across all fifty states. No more safe havens. No more sanctuary city protections. The machinery is fully funded to track, detain, and deport criminal illegal aliens who have evaded justice for far too long.
2. Fortifying the Line: $26 Billion for CBP
Customs and Border Protection is receiving an immediate injection of $26 billion. This isn't for processing centers or gift cards—this is raw enforcement capital. It funds thousands of new tactical boots on the ground, state-of-the-art thermal imaging, aerial drone surveillance networks, and direct procurement of heavy steel bollard panels to seal the gaps in our southern border wall.
3. The Absolute Destruction of Welfare Fraud
For too long, identity theft rings and cartel networks have manipulated federal databases to siphon off billions in welfare, Social Security, and emergency state assistance. This bill allocates billions specifically for biometric fraud detection technology. Every single system is being upgraded to ensure that American benefits go exclusively to legal American citizens. If you are here illegally, the federal safety net is officially closing its doors.
4. A Five-Billion-Dollar Rapid Response Fund
The bill establishes an immediate $5 billion operational slush fund for the Secretary of Homeland Security. This allows the administration to instantly deploy federal resources, emergency aviation assets, and tactical support units to any sector experiencing a sudden surge or cartel-driven breach.
This funding is locked in through the end of 2029. That means no matter how much the opposition rants, raves, or tries to defund the police, the financial backbone of our border defense is set in stone for the next three years.

The Human Stories That Prove Why This Was Urgent
To understand why this $70 billion bill is a monumental victory, you have to look past the top-line numbers and look at the real-world devastation it stops. The corporate media loves to pretend that border security is just an abstract political debate. But for millions of forgotten Americans, the lack of enforcement was a daily nightmare.
Consider the stories like, a 68-year-old Marine Corps veteran living in Ohio. They served their country with honor, only to find their selves displaced from affordable senior housing because a corrupt, local non-profit used municipal grants to lease out entire apartment blocks above market rate to house unvetted migrants. They are forced to live out of their truck for three months while local officials looked the other way. This bill cuts off the federal pipeline to organizations that prioritize non-citizens over the very heroes who bled for our flag.
Or look at the small business owners in Arizona and Texas who were systematically driven into bankruptcy by sophisticated, cartel-linked fraud networks. These criminal rings used stolen Social Security numbers to set up dummy corporations, undercutting legitimate, tax-paying American contractors who refuse to break the law. In cities across the country, local construction, landscaping, and hospitality markets were completely distorted by underground labor networks that paid zero taxes while consuming local hospital and school resources.
Think about the families torn apart by reckless drivers operating vehicles with fraudulent out-of-state registrations, completely outside our legal system. When tragedy struck, these individuals simply vanished into the shadows of sanctuary jurisdictions, leaving American victims with broken bodies, massive medical bills, and zero accountability.
This $70 billion bill is for them. It is for the taxpayers who were robbed, the families who were ignored, and the workers who were left behind. Every single dollar spent on these new ICE tactical units and biometric fraud checks is a shield protecting innocent, law-abiding American families from systemic exploitation.

They refused to bathe. They refused to salute. They poached deer from an English lord's estate and used their washing water ration to cook it.
The night before D-Day they shaved mohawks and painted their faces like warriors.
Then they jumped into Normandy on one of the deadliest missions of the invasion.

Officially they were the 1st Demolition Section of the Regimental Headquarters Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division.
Nobody called them that.
They earned the name the Filthy Thirteen while stationed in England before the invasion. The story goes that they refused to waste their weekly water ration on bathing or shaving. Instead they used it to cook the game they poached from the land around their base, including deer taken from a nearby estate. They went around filthy, unshaven, and unbothered by what anyone thought of them.
They drank hard. They fought. They went absent without leave. They ignored almost every rule the Army had except the ones that kept them alive in combat. Their officers were driven to despair trying to discipline them.
But there was a reason the Army put up with them. When it came to the actual job of blowing things up and fighting behind enemy lines, there was no better squad in the regiment.

At the center of them was a sergeant from Oklahoma named Jake McNiece.
McNiece was the son of an Irish father and a Choctaw mother. He was the one who could not be broken or tamed by Army discipline. He was promoted and busted back down so many times that despite being one of the most capable soldiers in the division, he barely held a rank for long. His own men nicknamed him McNasty.
On the night before D-Day, McNiece had an idea drawn from his Choctaw heritage. To psych the squad up for their first combat jump, he had them shave their heads into mohawks and paint each other's faces like warriors going to battle.
An Army Signal Corps photographer captured the moment. In the most famous frame, a paratrooper named Clarence Ware is carefully painting the face of another named Charles Plaudo.
The photograph ran in Stars and Stripes and helped create one of the most enduring images of American airborne culture.
A few hours after it was taken, the men in it jumped into the dark over Normandy.

To understand hate, it helps to look at it not just as a fleeting emotion like anger, but as a deeply structural, chronic psychological state. It is an intense, enduring aversion that aims to diminish, isolate, or destroy its target. #JewHate #BrainFunction
When a person harbors deep animosity—whether toward an individual, an ideological group, or an ethnicity—it alters their cognitive patterns and triggers a highly specific neural blueprint in the brain. #JewHate #BrainFunction
Psychologists generally view hate as a complex, compound emotion rather than a primary one. Robert Sternberg’s Duplex Theory of Hate breaks it down into three primary components: 1. Negation of Intimacy (Disgust) 2. Passion (Anger/Fear) 3. Commitment/ Cognition (Devaluation)

The faster you see relationships, the faster you solve problems.
Next: Geometry.
It's not about memorizing shapes.
It's about training your brain to see patterns everywhere.

MS spent months building their model. Their base case:
→ FY2024 revenue: ~$13B ✓ (they were right)
→ Starlink CAGR: 27% through 2035
→ FCF positive by 2028
→ Core thesis: SpaceX isn’t a rocket company. It’s a satellite internet business with the world’s best launch infrastructure.
The model was thorough. The direction was right.

Active Measures, though started in Tsarist Russia and perfected under Soviet rule, are still a very active part of Russia’s foreign influence playbook within the US today, a thread:🧵
Russia’s active measures doctrine isn’t just propaganda.
It’s political warfare: covert, deniable operations meant to shape events by confusing, dividing, pressuring, or discrediting an adversary, all while hiding Moscow’s involvement.
It’s political warfare: covert, deniable operations meant to shape events by confusing, dividing, pressuring, or discrediting an adversary, all while hiding Moscow’s involvement.
The playbook: find a real fault line, build fake or front identities, launder a message through “independent” voices, amplify it until real people argue about it, then deny involvement.
The goal is often less “convince everyone” than “make trust collapse.”
Sound familiar?
